cheap mod - crome rings

After seeing so many of you doing that chrome speedometer rings I also had to do it. Opening that thing is really a PITA. Used 4 hands, 3 screwdrivers and pliers .......

Really a cheap mod compared to good how it looks like.

Still waiting on mine. I ordered them 3 weeks ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_2586wt_1246

UHG the wait sucks. What did yours attach with? Pretty simple to slide the cluster out, but not to pop the cover or install the rings?

Looks good. How did you get the cluster to hover on a cloud like that ?! :rofl:

o.l.t. Yours seem to be made out of plastic. I have ordered plastic ones before but they were so twisted - I had to return them and ordered these - made out of aluminium. Hope you do not have that problem. I had to put mine in and to bead them. Afterwards a drop of glue to the backside. All with white gloves - looked nice.

Patrick-Irish that is the table in my living room :-)

Should have bought them at DDM Tuning and the shipping would be much faster. They're on sale for $10 plus shipping.

Thank you sir :-)

Meh theres so many of them out there to choose from. I don't care as long as the fit properly. We'll see, but if these come deformed after a 3+ week wait they are getting an instant neg.

Can you please post the link for DDM Tuning. Couldn't find it. Thanks.
